Scale Computing Reliable Independent Block Engine (SCRIBE)
Efficiency Redefined
The Scale Computing Reliable Independent Block Engine (SCRIBE) is a critical software component of SC//HyperCore. It is an enterprise-class, clustered, block storage layer purpose-built to be consumed directly by the KVM-based SC//HyperCore hypervisor.
SCRIBE is not a repurposed file system with the overhead introduced by local file/file system abstractions such as virtual hard disk files that attempt to act like a block storage device. This means that performance-killing issues such as disk partition alignment* with external RAID arrays become obsolete. Arcane concepts like storing VM snapshots as delta files that later have to be merged through I/O killing brute-force reads and re-writes are also a thing of the past with the SCRIBE design.
